'So much to live for, so much to die for / If only my heart had a home' - current music
This post is tagged 'religion', but my main point is not to discuss an element of Christianity or any other specific religion. Please keep reading if you're interested in friendship, insecurity, self-confidence, or any similar attitudes; I would like to hear others' thoughts or advice.

"He [my father, Leonard Wolf] believes that everyone is here on earth as an artist; to tell his particular story or sing her irreplaceable song; to leave behind a unique creative signature. He believes that your passion for this, your feelings about this, must take priority over every other reasoned demand: status, benefits, sensible practices. This book is about why he believes this, and what this belief does to the people around him. Most of all, it is about the power of the imagination.
Leonard feels that your medium may be words or music or paint; it could also be the guiding of an organization, the baking of a certain kind of cake, the edging of a garden, the envisioning of a new kind of computer network, or the gesture that brushes the hair away from the forehead of a hurt child. What matters to my father is not whether or not the creative work is valued in the marketplace; what matters to him is whether or not it is *yours*."
